This serves as a lovely reminder that the schedule rarely affords an NHL team a moment to collect itself and/or get its collective **** together. The Blackhawks got their lunches handed to them in Detroit last night in one of their worst efforts of the season. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers were in Chicago practicing, likely having a beautiful dinner somewhere expensive, and resting up. Well, except Connor McDavid, who was in Erie for his jersey to be retired.
Bad team gets butt kicked by bad team, has to play team with two of the best players in the league the next night. What could possibly go right?

Evander Kane is on IR.What to Watch For
The Blackhawks played in Detroit last night. The Oilers practiced in Chicago. One team comes in rested. It’s the one with arguably the two best players on the planet. The other crapped the bed against the Red Wings. Bedard vs McDavid is worth the price of admission. This is Perry’s first game back in Chicago since the Blackhawks punted him last year.Get Caught Up
